Hungarian Translation - Áttekintés

A "Hungaroton Classic – Works for Flute" egy kivételes felvétel, melyen Zoltán Jeney kortárs kompozíciói kapnak új értelmet István Matuz, a fuvola virtuózának előadásában. A műsorban szerepelnek egyéni darabok, több hangszeres összejövetelek és kísérleti hangutak, melyek mind a hagyományos fuvolajáték határait feszegetik. Az album bizonyítja Jeney zsenialitását és Matuz technikai kiválóságát.

Interesting Facts

• Innovative Compositional Techniques:
  Jeney’s compositions often explore structural inversions and transformational processes. For instance, "Soliloqium No. 1a (Cancrizans)" revisits his 1982 original by reordering musical elements to reveal entirely new sonic relationships.
• Tributes and Homages:
  The album includes works dedicated to influential figures and artistic movements—such as the John Cage-inspired "Fungi-Epitaphium" and pieces reflecting on the legacy of László Sáry.
• Explorative Sound Worlds:
  Pieces like "come un sospiro" for piccolo present a fractal musical image that pushes the boundaries of the instrument's expressive potential, offering listeners a glimpse into the future of contemporary flute music.

English Notes on the Compositions

The album’s intricate design is evident in the way the works interrelate. Jeney’s approach often provides a model for further compositional experimentation, as seen in the multi-version "60 Sounds for László Sáry," which exists in one-, four-, and sixty-part arrangements, each offering a unique listening experience.
